AT THE PAVILION.
The decorations of the exhibition build
ing are more elaborate and of pore pleas
ing design than those of any former year,
while some of the exhibits are on so grand
scale that all attempts of previous years
seem small in comparison. Some of the
business houses of Sacramento are deserv-
ing of much praise for the mammoth and
artistic displays they are making which
involve large expense and a considerable
time.
The Pavilion yesterday presented lively
scene Large trucks blockaded the main
entrance with goods and wares for exhibit
ton, which were being placed in position
By hundreds of workmen. The saw and
hammer were heard. on every hand. The
art gallery is rapidly filling with elegant
oil paintings, some of immense size, the
work of the most eminent artists. This
department is under the control of Norton
Bush, who says the exhibition this year
will be one of the finest collections ever
brought together upon the coast. Many of
the paintings are new, and will be beheld
by the public for the first time.
1t has been the aim of the Society to
make agricultural products leading feat
ure, and many valuable prizes have been
offered with that end in view. One is for
the largest and best display of grain in the
sheaf. The prizes-three in number-for
this exhibit are $40 $50 and $40.
Nearly every available foot of space in
every department is taken, each will be a
complete exhibition within itself, and no
one can take in the entire Pavilion short of
three or four visits.
Among the counties that have secured
space and will make competitive displays,
are FL Dorado. Colusa, Fresno, San Joa-
quin, Humboldt, Sonoma, Sacramento,
Nevada, Placer and Tehama. Other coun-
ties will be represented by individual ex-
hibitors. The Directors have set aside
- 0ll for N tho county OOntpctc
VIII. X. Selkirk, of Placerville, is in
charge of the FL Dorado exhibit and feels
confident that his showing for the county
| in which gold was discovered will carry off
| the first prize, which is $500.
T. C. Radcliffe and +. w. Willis, of the
town of Colusa, have charge of the Colusa
exhibit, which was being placed in posi-
| ton yesterday in the southeast conserva-
tory.
San Joaquin county exhibit is in charge
of Pomona Grange. and L. D. Huffman is
putting it in position in the northwest con-
servatory.
W. c. Curtis, of Yolo, accompanies his
sheaf exhibits with the following letter:
81 have shipped this day samples of
sheaf wheat. am sorry that l did not re-
ceive word asking for the same little
earlier, as | had much of my heaviest
wheat cut. This that send was standing
by the roadside, which accounts for so
much dust upon it. AS to the history in
| the yield of this wheat, would say that it
was grown on my farm, known as the
Kaye ranch, which contains 5000 acres
This is the tract purchased from Sir John
Lester Kaye two years ago. As l desired to
test the yield of part of this ranch, l had
100 acres regularly surveyed and staked off
| by S. Nurse, well-known engineer in the
employ of Reclamation District No. los.
The grain was cut and thrashed by James
| Deeds, of Woodland. This tract of land
yielded 81 sacks (l41 pounds to the SACK
per acre. This amounted to521, 700 pounds
to the tract, or about 81 bushels to the acre.
This was sold through the San Francisco
Produce Exchange for two cents per pound.
or a total of $10,434 In addition 10 the
Kaye ranch. l have 5000 acres of fine
wheat on Grand Island, District No. los;
1000 acres near Williams, Colusa county,
and $50 acres near Woodland, Yolo county,
and must say that the yield received from
all this land this year excels any previous
season. l will send you full line of
thrashed grain
